Dear Friends,
Welcome! We are once again pleased to serve as premier
sponsor of the Pittsburgh CLO’s PNC Spotlight Series.
The CLO is a Pittsburgh treasure, consistently providing our
region with exceptional entertainment. And this season is no
different with all-new productions of timeless classics and
modern masterpieces that are sure to thrill and delight.
The PNC Spotlight Series performances and other presentations
by the CLO serve as integral elements of Pittsburgh’s thriving
Cultural District, which attracts thousands of visitors each
year and helps to define Pittsburgh as the most livable place
in America. That is why PNC has established such a long and
rewarding relationship with the Civic Light Opera, and it’s why
we’re pleased to continue that relationship for another season.
Thank you for being here and supporting one of the region’s rich
cultural assets. Enjoy the show.
Sincerely,
Welcome to a musical that holds a special place in my heart because it was one of the first I
produced and directed in Texas twenty-one years ago, and one of the first I produced after joining
Pittsburgh CLO in 1997. We’ve been trying to find a time to revive it for you in the years since,
but with the “other Phantom musical” so prominent in the marketplace, we had to be patient.
Here we are, fifteen years later! I am delighted that a member of my Texas cast is with us starring
as the Phantom’s father, Gérard Carrière.
As history repeating itself goes, the curious case of “the Phantoms” is one for the books. Kopit
& Yeston’s Phantom (music and lyrics by Maury Yeston, book by Arthur Kopit, based on Gaston
Leroux’s 1910 novel “Le Fantôme de l’Opéra”) was written before, but produced after, the 1986
Andrew Lloyd Webber treatment of the same subject based on the same book. In a tale of how
the Great White Way was won, ALW’s version beat Kopit & Yeston’s to market, debuting first in
London’s West End and soon after on Broadway. The rest was - well, what is now the longestrunning show in Broadway history, prompting Maury Yeston to declare his own version “the
greatest hit never to be produced on Broadway.” Kopit & Yeston’s Phantom has nonetheless
enjoyed more than 1,000 independent productions; many theater lovers prefer it to its
“showier” rival.
On behalf of everyone in our organization who works hard each year to create a Summer Series
with something for the whole family, we are grateful that you are here and hope you will join us
for Disney’s The Little Mermaid (July 9-21), just right for the youngsters, and Buddy – The Buddy
Holly Story (July 30-August 4), for all lovers of rock and roll. And, for those desirous of a romantic
night out to the tune of tinkling wine glasses, at the CLO Cabaret we give you Side By Side By
Sondheim, a revue of Stephen Sondheim’s lesser-known songs that debuted on Broadway thirty-six
years ago and is here in Pittsburgh for the first time. (Some things are worth the wait.)
Thank you for being here.
Enjoy the show!

Executive Producer
2 - KOPIT & YESTON’S PHANTOM
“I’m a man of infinite patience. I write
things, and sometimes they don’t see
the light of day for years and years and
years…just because I don’t happen to be
a blip on someone’s radar screen, doesn’t
mean I’m not here.” – Maury Yeston

You don’t have to live with
painful varicose and spider veins.
Should I Have My Veins Evaluated?
Q & A WITH A VEIN SPECIALIST: While finishing charts at the
end of my day, I took a few moments to listen to my staff answer
questions for a patient on the phone. The questions asked were very
important as were the answers that were given. Here are some
examples:
What is Phlebology?
Phlebology is the branch of medicine that deals with veins and the
disease of veins. Two organizations dedicated to the advancement of
this field are The American College of Phlebology and the American
Venous Forum.
Why should I see a board- certified phlebologist to evaluate
my varicose veins
When it comes to any aspect of your health care, it is important to
be proactive in the choice and research of who will become medically
responsible for your evaluation and treatment. Though venous
disease is not always a visible ailment, it can be a serious health
problem leading to more serious issues, so choosing a specialist, or
board certified phlebologist for your venous care is a wise decision.
Board certification in phlebology identifies a physician who has
taken the extra step of becoming specialized in the treatment of
venous disease. Not only is the physician often a member of
organizations such as the American College of Phlebology (ACP) and
the American Venous Forum (AVF) but they have met additional
requirements set by the certifying board. After meeting these
requirements, he or she must then pass a certifying exam allowing the
physician to identify him or herself as board-certified.
Is membership the same as board certification?
This question is particularly important as it defines the specialty of
a phlebologist. While a physician may be a member of many different
organizations, these organizations only require an interest in the field
for joining. Thus membership is unlike board certification where
qualification is determined through training and testing. Here’s how
the ACP defines its board certification: “The establishment of a Board
Certification Exam brings recognition to both the field of phlebology
and those providers in the field who have the knowledge, skills and
experience to provide quality care to phlebology patients.”
I had a free screening at a
health fair and was told that
I don't have venous disease,
but I still have aching, pain
and discoloration at the
ankles. What should I do?
While free screenings can be
informative, remember that this is
just a brief glance into a patient's
venous system. A complete venous
exam and venous mapping by a
board-certified phlebologist is best
to determine if a patient has venous
disease.
Since a proper venous ultrasound
is such an integral part of this
evaluation, the American College of
Phlebology has set requirements for it
that include the following:
• A venous ultrasound should be ordered by a
physician.
• A lower extremity ultrasound should study the entire leg, from ankle
to groin. Failure to identify and treat all sources of reflux may result
in outright treatment failure.
• Evaluation of the venous system should be performed with the patient
in the upright position. Sitting or lying down are inappropriate for
the detection of reflux or the measurement of vein diameters.
• A venous ultrasound should be performed by a trained physician or a
registered vascular ultrasound technician (RVT) and then
interpreted by a physician.
If I have had an evaluation elsewhere, can I still be evaluated
in your office?
Of course. A free evaluation is commonly ‘ free’ because patients
are often not meeting with a physician, a physician assistant or a nurse
practitioner, so this visit cannot be billed to insurance. However, most
insurances allow for a second opinion. If you have any questions
about the second opinion being covered, contact member services on
the back of your insurance card.

The timeless love story behind The Phantom
of the Opera has inspired countless books,
movies, theatrical productions and much
more since 1908 when the Gaston Leroux
novel was first published. Since music is
such a pivotal element in the Phantom’s
story, it is no surprise that musical theater
has become its dominant realm.
Not only has Andrew Lloyd Webber’s
production become a sensational hit on
Broadway and throughout the world, this
version, affectionately known as “the OTHER
Phantom,” is also a sensational hit in its
own right and is performed at top regional
theaters across the country.
Many critics agree that the best of these
productions is Kopit and Yeston’s Phantom.
Arthur Kopit, an award—winning playwright,
and Maury Yeston, a composer and Yale
music professor, first collaborated on
the Broadway musical Nine in 1982. The
show went on to win several Tony Awards®,
including Best Musical of the Year and Best
Music and Lyrics for Yeston. For their next
project, they decided to adapt Leroux’s
“Phantom” for the stage. However, once
word of Webber’s adaptation hit New York,
financial backers were reluctant to support
Kopit and Yeston’s show despite their
proven talent, so the duo shelved the work
in 1985 and moved on with their
careers. Yeston wrote the
lyrics for the Broadway
hits Grand Hotel
and Titanic, while
530 William Penn Place • Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15219
412-281-7100 • omnihotels.com/pittsburgh
Kopit adapted his Phantom script into a
miniseries for NBC. After the success of
the miniseries, Houston’s Theatre Under
the Stars produced Kopit and Yeston’s
show to great acclaim. The show also had
impressive runs at Paper Mill Playhouse,
Chicago’s Candlelight Dinner Playhouse,
Boston’s North Shore Music Theatre and, of
course, Pittsburgh CLO in 1998.
Unlike other versions of Phantom, Kopit
and Yeston’s focuses more on characters
and story line than on special effects.
They give the Phantom a name, Erik, and a
deeper motivation for his initial attraction
to Christine – her voice greatly resembles
his mother’s voice. Also, Kopit and Yeston
explore the unique love that exists between
Christine and Erik in much more detail than
other shows. In this version, Erik’s father is
also disclosed, and the revelation of their
true relationship provides the show with
its most tender and moving moments. The
show has some light moments as well,
supplied mostly by La Carlotta, the selfproclaimed diva of the Paris Opera House,
who quickly becomes Christine’s biggest
rival and a constant annoyance to the
Phantom.
While all the Phantoms in musical theater
present a different take on the world’s most
famous masked man, Kopit and Yeston’s
version clearly portrays him in a more
sensitive and vulnerable way, embodying
the characteristics that help us see him for
what he really is…human.
